Not quite sure what to say about that one. Put it in the time capsule, I guess, for when someone 100 years from now asks what it was like to be the Reds and their fans in the Bummer of 2015.

At some point, players have to do their jobs. BPrice played the pitching right last night. The pitching, at least the relieving, screwed up. We can all forgive Chappy, I hope. The man's not bionic. First homer allowed, first BS in a year. He was all over the place, and was it just me, or did he wince a few times in between pitches, like something was bugging him physically?

IT'S AWFUL ABOUT BYRD, whose attitude will be missed as much as his bat. Talk about an expensive injury. If you're seeing it strictly from a business eye, it's not terrible for The Club, as callous as it sounds, to be very likely off the hook for $8 mil next year.

LOTS OF REACTION from the column I did on Caitlyn and Lauren and ESPN's questionable decision to honor the former. The best columns are the ones where half agree, and half don't. This one didn't quite quality – more in Lauren Hill's camp than not – but it was divided enough to get the talk up to a dull roar.

To those who suggested I used the pro-Lauren opinion as a thin veil over the contempt they think I felt for Jenner: Go directly to the Life Store and make a down payment on one.

GREAT SHOOTERS ARE RARE, and even good shooting is hard to come by now, so it's gonna be a treat to watch Steph Curry beginning tonight. From Grantland:

During the regular season, Curry broke his own NBA record by draining 286 3s. Over half of those came off the dribble, and nobody in NBA history has ever been able to generate — and convert — his own looks like this. It's not just that Curry is a great shooter, it's that Curry is the most creative great shooter ever.BAE VIA GETTY IMAGES

Numbers are one thing, and aesthetics are another. One reason we howl with glee when Curry scores is that he makes hard shots look so freaking easy. The quintessential Curry highlight involves a few slick dribbles and a lightning-smooth release that a defender just can't get a hand to.

BEER-ESPONDENT TRISTEN, ON WHERE HE LIKES TO INDULGE:

Your Perfect Place for a Pint?

Many of you know I spent most of my life in the Ohio Valley, but my wife and I now reside in Northern CA. It's a rough life here with Lord-of-the-Rings-like vistas, amazing hiking, great beer/wine, and lots of sunny days. (Not much to complain about besides the real estate prices and Raider fans.) As much as I love it here, there are things to miss about the Ohio Valley and I've written about some of the beers/bars here.

My perfect place for a cold brew is focused on three things; good beer, good people, and good atmosphere. Cincinnati has lots of great new or old spaces to grab a pint and no place meets all three criteria like Fries Cafe. I went grad school at UC and spent lots of time there being pretentious with classmates and later as the proximal spot for Friday happy hour with old friends. They were serving craft before it was cool with a little grit and Clifton character that can't be bought in the age of kit pubs and hipster Disney. Fries had some ups and downs recently, but is officially back on the map and better than ever.

How about you? Where is your perfect spot where brews, buds, and belonging meet?

Sláinte,

That's a great question. I like anyplace outside. If it has a view, even better. The Incline House is amazing that way; so is Buckhead Grille in Bellevue, across from Party Source. And of course, City View.

YOUTH-ESPONDENT BKORS TELLS US ABOUT BUNBURY…

For music fans in Cincinnati, it does not get much bigger than the Bunbury Music Festival this weekend. The three day event is chalked full of performances, including appearances from The Black Keys, the Avett Brothers and Snoop Dogg. With the sheer amount of bands at music festivals, it can be a bit overwhelming. I have put together a list of my top five concerts to see each day before the marquee evening acts. Have fun and don't forget your sunscreen.

By the way, Jillian and I are signing at 630 next Wednesday, June 10, at DiStasi in Wyoming. Great restaurant, great food, better company. Come by and say hello.

THANKS TO MY FRIENDS WHO KEEP ME IN FINE CIGARS, Mobster John Richardson and long-time pal Andy Furman. Very much appreciated. And to my guy, Darryl: I picked up a Punch Rare Corojo at The Source the other day. You were right.
